Chris was an exceptional photographer. He responded immediately to our request. He was thoughtful, professional and punctual. His price was very reasonable. Our family photos are outstanding. We couldn't be happier with his service.

I booked Chris for two of my birthday events and I cannot recommend him enough! He truly went above and beyond to make our events special and capture led some incredible memories that we will cherish forever! From the moment we met it felt like we were working with family. Chris was warm friendly and easy to work with. He took the time to get to know us and our preferences and he managed to capture the essence of our events and the people in them. We were blown away by the value of the photography services he provided. Thanks Chris

Christopher was a great photographer for our wedding reception! He was creative with our photoshoot. We felt so part of Newark due to Chris thinking of clever ways for us to take pics at Branch Brook Park. The photos came out amazing, and he worked with us although we ran late. He has been doing this a while and knows how to pose people really well. We will definitely work with him again for future events. Thank you, Christopher!
